Murray's visit!


hahaha okay so...we have these old toys that are little people. they have no arms. no legs. VERY old. from fisher price and over the years somehow our little collection has gotten bigger and bigger. we now have a home, a tourbus, a school bus, a school house, a tractor, a barn, a boat, a ton of people, farm animals, a fire engine, fire fighters, a firefighter dalmatian, and a playground with extra equipment. actually there is a lot now that i think of it.
anyways...so my mom went shopping...looking for something to buy for all the grand daughters. SO she found these awesome shirts that say..."chillin' with my people" and it has a picture of the little people!!!!! the same ones that our nieces love to play with!!!!! SO Jenae, katelyn, Natalie, Whitney and i all got a matching shirt. we took pictures right before the MacKays left and Whitney was asleep.

natalie with my dad's parents.

Jonathan won't see Natalie again before he leaves for his mission so they took a picture and i think in this picture they were saying "iiiiiiiiiiiii (love candy)"

after the Mackays left it was just these cuties. they loved watching Merry Christmas Charlie Brown with aunt Jenae!!

poor katelyn was sick all week.


this was sunday morning before church. But Katelyn was sick so Eric stayed home with her. i thought it was cute that all three nieces were chilling with Eric.

today the Murrays left but we had lots of fun before they left! they LOVED jumping on the trampoline!

katelyn was really good at doing somersaults!

Whitney is such a shutterbug! whenever the camera is pointed towards her she BEAMS! its adorable!

katelyn was finally feeling better and good enough to run around

and the adults watched. hahahaa



after a while kate got pretty winded though. poor girl.




jonathan is leaving on his mission soon and this was the last time that he will see the neices untill he comes back home in january of 2012!!!! so we took pictures of him with both of the Murray girls.


Jenae and Katelyn were like best friends :)
so now...Katrina they Murrays and the Mackays have all left and it's down to just the boring Hansen regulars.....
